Development of improved perennial non-food biomass and bioproduct crops for water stressed environments (WATBIO)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

"The goal of WATBIO is to use the power of next generation sequencing to develop an accelerated route for producing new germplasm with enhanced drought tolerance whilst maintaining biomass productivity and quality in water scarce, marginal environments unsuitable for food crops.This will be achieved for three non-food crops (Populus, Miscanthus and Arundo), suitable for growth on water scarce, mar ...

Optimization of Perennial Grasses for Biomass Production (OPTIMA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

OPTIMA will integrate an ambitious biology system approach for perennial grasses such as switchgrass, miscanthus and giant reed in the Mediterranean environment. Moreover the perennial species cardoon, which has been proven to be particularly adapted to the Mediterranean climate, will be used as a control species.The main objective of the OPTIMA project is to identify high-yielding perennial grass ...

Recruitment and activation of brown adipocytes as preventive and curative therapy for type 2 diabetes (DIABAT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

"The DIABAT project will employ knowledge of the function, dysfunction and physiological regulation of brown adipocytes to develop innovative therapeutic and preventive strategies for type 2 diabetes. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is currently a worldwide recognized target to combat obesity and diabetes due to last years re-discovery of functional BAT in adult humans by several of the members of the ...

BIOmarkers of Robustness of Metabolic Homeostasis for Nutrigenomics-derived Health CLAIMS Made on Food (BIOCLAIMS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

The food and health relationship focuses on maintenance of optimal health, both in terms of physiology and new European legislation. Yet, most accepted biomarkers quantify (intermediate) disease endpoints or damage. This has led to major problems in demonstrating health benefits and establishing health claims, and blocks competitive economic and health developments in the food sector. BIOCLAIMS de ...

towards a PHOtonic liquid state machine based on delay-CoUpled Systems (PHOCUS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

The aim of this project is to design and implement a photonics realization of a liquid state machine (LSM), with the potential for versatile and fast signal handling. We target to achieve high computational performance with only a small number of photonics components, using dynamical systems with time delay to realize the required high dimensionality for the LSM. This ambitious aim is motivated by ...

Municipal Territorial Information System (SITMUN)

Start date: Jan 31, 2003, End date: Jun 29, 2005,

The idea of SITMUN arises out of the verification of the difficulty of implementation of SIG tools on a municipal level. The plan is to develop a centralized municipal SIT that, managed by supramunicipal bodies, will allow the provision of SIG functions to those town councils who need them but who do not have the means for correct implementation. The main objective of SITUM thus consists in develo ...
